How does Zscaler approach threat detection?

Zscaler's approach to threat detection primarily involves automated monitoring features, which allows for real-time visibility and proactive security measures. This capability helps in identifying and responding to threats across the network without the delays associated with manual interventions. Automated systems can analyze large volumes of data quickly, enabling Zscaler to detect patterns indicative of potential threats, which enhances the overall security posture.

While user reports, manual log analysis, and basic firewall rules can contribute to identifying security issues, they often lack the efficiency and comprehensive coverage that automated monitoring provides. User reports can be subjective and may not capture all threats, manual log analysis is time-consuming and might not scale effectively in complex environments, and basic firewall rules may not be sufficient against the advanced threats that exist today. Automated monitoring is essential for staying ahead of evolving threats in a dynamic landscape, making it the cornerstone of Zscaler's threat detection strategy.
